Ch 4 Perio Dz 1 Flashcards
What is the term for gingivitis that has a prevalence between 9 and 14 years of age?
puberty gingivitis
What are the ages seen in bimodal gingivitis?
puberty then returns to 100% prevalence in the 6th decade of life
In general which sex has more gingivitis?
In general men have more ginigivits, but women can have more during times of high progesterone (pregnancy or oral contraceptives)
Where does the unique pattern of gingivitis appear for mouth breathers?
anterior facial ginigiva (smooth swollen red)
What is the type of gingivitis that is idiopathic, but possibly caused by an isolated patch of exteriorized junctional or sulcular epithelium that may be altered secondarily by local factors, such as mouth breathing?
First described in 2007…
What is the alternate term?
Localized Juvenile Spongiotic Gingival Hyperplasia
Alternate: Localized Juvenile Spongiotic Gingivitis (LJSG)
What helps rule out puberty gingivitis when suspecting localized juvenile spongiotic gingivitis?
puberty gingivitis responds to improved oral hygiene, LJSG does not (also puberty gingivitis will have estrogen and progesterone receptors present)
Whats the median age for LJSGH? Gender? Location?
12 years…female..maxillary anterior facial gingiva
What stain is positive in localized juvenile spongiotic gingivitis? What other tissue type is positive for this?
CK19, sulcular epithelium is also CK19 positive while the facial gingiva is not
What is the recurrence rate range for localized juvenile spongiotic gingivial hyperplasia?
6-16.7% with excision (why dont they mention corticosterioid therapy?)
What are the two alternate names for necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis?
- Vincent Infection (French physician who first described it)
- Trench mouth (WW1)
What are the 5 bacteria associated with necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis?
What are the 3 viri possibly associated with NUG?
What is the primary exogenous cause?
Bacteria
- Fusobacterium nucleatum
- Prevotella intermedia
- Porphyromonas gingivalis
- Teponema spp
- Selenomonas spp
Viri
- CMV
- EBV
- HSV
Psychologic stress (immunosuppression, smoking, local trauma, poor nutritional status, poor oral hygeine, inadequate sleep, recent illness)
What two immunosuppressed conditions are associated with NUG?
AIDS and Mononucleosis
What condition can clinically mimic NUG?
agranulocytosis (lack of granulocytes)
caused by medication
NUG: typical age
young, middle aged adults
If NUG is suspected based on clinical appearance, BUT there is no putrid smell….consider this:
gonorrhea!
What is the term for NUG that spreads to the other tissues? What about if it spreads to the skin of the face?
necrotizing ulcerative mucositis (NUM) or necrotizing stomatitis….to the face: noma (cancrum oris)
NUG treatment?
remove the bacterial challenge
- conservative debridement/scaling, currettage, utrasonic (CONTRAINDICATED in HIV pts? no evidence)
- rinses (chlorhex, salt water, diluted H2O2)
- Abx (metronidazole, penicillin)
Alternate name for plasma cell gingivitis?
atypical gingivostomatitis
What was the first cause of plasma cell gingivitis in the 1960s/70s?
hypersensitvity to a component of chewing gum
The cause of more current cases of plasma cell gingivitis is still an allergin - what are three examples?
- herbal toothpaste
- mint candy
- peppers for cooking
Histologically, what two conditions can be identical to plasma cell ginigivitis (allergen/idiopathic) and how are these ruled out clinically?
- Plaque-related gingival hyperplasia (non-rapid onset, improves with better oral hygeine)
- chronic periodontitis (non-rapid onset, improves with better oral hygeine)
Treatments for plasma cell gingivitis?
- diary - track and remove possible allergens
- allergy testing
- topical or systemic immunosuppresive medications
